The life of a PGA Tour pro might seem pretty straightforward: win a tournament and take home the prize money. With the eye-popping prize pools on the Tour these days, it’s easy to assume that a win alone can set you up nicely. But what if you don’t snag that top spot? That’s where things get interesting. Take Jordan Spieth, for example.
He’s one of the biggest names in golf, even though his last win was in 2022 at the RBC Heritage. The three-time major champ and 13-time PGA Tour winner has built a career (and a bank account) way beyond his time on the leaderboard. Spieth’s net worth is a whopping $120 million, putting him among the highest-paid athletes in the world.
$62,741,970 comes from PGA Tour winnings alone, making him one of the top 20 highest-earning golfers in history. You see Spieth made a name for himself early—he won the U.S. Junior Amateur twice (2009 and 2011), something only Tiger Woods had done before him. By 17, he was the #1 junior golfer in the world. Then, in 2013, he made history as the first teenager since 1931 to win a PGA Tour event at the John Deere Classic. That win earned him a full Tour membership and opened the door to big things.
